The original Muscle Car era was a very special time. This 1969 Hurst Olds showcases just how unique performance cars were back then. This is Hurst Olds is NUMBER ONE of just over 900 produced in 1969. Under the hood is a massive 455ci V8 and mated to a "HIS & HERS" shifter 3-speed automatic transmission. The exterior of the Hurst Olds features a twin inlet ram-air style hood. Unique paint scheme, rear spoiler and Cragar mags. On the inside you will find a matching interior with Hurst unique touches. Is the 1969 Hurst Olds a more ICONIC muscle car than a Mustang or Camaro?

A 51 years old car that run perfectly? That’s fantastic! Today, it’s crazy that an only 3 years old vehicle model is now considered "outdated" just because it doesn’t have the latest tech! In the 70s: no Apple Car Play, no Android Auto, no touchscreens, no digital buttons, no Bluetooth, no rear view camera, no keyless entry, no automatics leds lamps, no technologies of this type! That’s crazy!

@godchi1dvonsteuben770 2 года назад

The lack of all that fancy new "tech" is exactly WHY that car runs perfect. Occams razor: The simplest solution is usually best. The less complicated a machine is, the less there is to malfunction, and the less there is to maintain. The GM vehicles of that era are very basic, and those vehicles with the 327ci, 350ci, 396ci, 402ci, 454ci, and 455ci V8 engines are KNOWN for their longevity. The only time those cars don't start is if the person starting the car floods it, or if the carburator is out of adjustment, that's it pretty much it ( back in the day all you needed to do was keep a screwdriver in your glove box for readjusting the carburetor, and be familiar with how to make small tuning adjustments, and you could always get them running again). Although that may prevent them from starting, they aren't broken. The platforms GM used these powertrains in are bulletproof, and with proper fluid and filter upkeep, regularly outlive their owners, and can be kept running indefinitely...

Those Olds blocks are underrated and underappreciated. I think some of the reason why comes down to sentiment (marketing). These '68-72 Cutlasses have the most awesome sounding engines out of the factory. Even If you only think you like the car, when you start it in your garage, you will fall in love.

Boy this brings back memories. When you revved the engine you could see some torque roll in the body. That engine was a torque monster. You reminded me re; price. In 1968 I paid $3250 for my brand new Mustang GT 390 4 speed. Highland Green of course. Thanks

This is a beautiful, stylish, cruiser with gobs of low end torque with that big block, a nice floaty ride. Beautiful chrome trim and minimal plastics. It's quite a treat to be able to drive it and it is in amazing condition for being 51 and its #1 too boot, wow! The dual hood scope might be the biggest I've seen.
